R32 Gtst Wheel Alignment With Eccentric Bushes

[B0oStEr]

I'm fixing my suspension because I want to make the car more user friendly so I can enjoy it more often.

Over the long weekend I fitted Noltec rear cradle bushes and nolathane adjustable bushes throughout the front and rear suspension to counter the excessive negative camber that was induced when I fitted the koni/kings.

Ride height is 345mm front and 340mm rear.

My car spent most of today on the wheel aligner and although it was the wheel alignment from hell I'm pretty happy with the measurements we achieved.

I fitted adjustable caster bushes and with the adjustment maxed out we got 6.6 degrees pos. caster on the right and 6.7 degrees on the left, a bit short of SKs 7degrees minimum.

The factory rear camber adjustment on the upper arm inner bush and the eccentric outer bush will only allow me to reduce the rear camber to 0.8 degrees neg. instead of SKs recommended 0.5 degrees.

I decided to fit one adjustable bush on the inside of the rear radius arm so the toe-in could be set without excessively stressing the bushes.

The recommended front camber and all toe settings were easily achieved.

I want to take it for a test drive but my new tyres are rubbing the rear wheel arch now that I've reduced the neg. camber so I'll have to have the lip rolled on monday.

Looks very clean and pretty under there.

I would have gone for adjustable caster arms rather than bushes but otherwise looks great.
